Great Ocean
The Great Ocean was the large ocean that separated the Old Continent from the Great Continent.
History
| A strong, cold ocean current swept down from the north in the Eastern Ocean, pushing all ships horribly off course. Ships that traveled east and returned reported nothing but open ocean and vile sea monsters... |

The Great Ocean was an ocean separating the Old Continent in the west from the Great Continent in the east. The ocean also contained a number of islands, including the Green Isle,[1] Morogor,[2] and the Naga archipelago.[3] Near to its shore across the Great Continent lay a number of islands, including the Three Sisters,[4] the Island of Alduin,[5], the Shimmering Isle, and Bilheld.[6] The Great Ocean had perilous sailing conditions, especially to the east of the Green Isle, where a strong current pushed ships south. The people of the Green Isle originally called this part of the ocean the Eastern Ocean.[1]
The Great Ocean contained merfolk cities, including Jotha,[6] the merfolk calling the sea the Western Ocean.[7] It was also home to the nagas, who took advantage of sailors who shipwrecked on their archipelago.[3] The ocean was also known to be inhabited by various sea monsters.[1][2][3]
